Chapter 491: Ten Years 2
Li Anran, who did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, found a random place after returning to his hometown, took out a knight predator that he threw in the mental space that was more domineering than a Humvee, and then drove back to the village.
Although no one in the village knows how much Li Anran has earned outside and what he has become, it is certain from some signs that this kid who has emigrated abroad must be very rich. So, someone's appearance quickly caused a warm welcome.
After greeting these villagers one by one, Li Anran, who returned to his compound, looked at the courtyard where he had not come back for a while, but he was still neat and clean, as if someone had been living in the yard and house.
As soon as Li Anran put incense on his grandfather's tablet, he saw the village chief walking into the courtyard with a group of people very enthusiastically.
There is no way not to be enthusiastic, just by helping to look at the Li family's mansion, the village can get a lot of benefits every year. Not to mention the children in the village, many of them work in a company in China.
Even the agricultural products in the village are directly signed with underwriting contracts. In addition, the village has built a road comparable to a highway. In the eyes of all the villagers, someone is the representative of the God of Wealth, how can he do it if he is not enthusiastic.
After some greetings, Li Anran directly stated the purpose of coming back this time. However, at the same time, it also shows that the yard will still be handed over to the village to help look at it, as long as it can ensure the current effect. The amount of money every year will not be less.
Originally, after hearing that Li Anran wanted to remove Li Guizhen's grave, the villagers led by the village chief still wanted to persuade him. But seeing that the money would not be affected, and there was no discussion about someone's intentions, they all decisively changed their tone.
Li Anran was not surprised by the villagers' reaction. Because he is well aware of the enthusiasm of these villagers, because he has settled abroad, he has completely transitioned from the original affection to pure interest binding. However, it is not sentimental.
After all, in this era of the main plane, let alone in the city, even in the countryside today. It's not that kind of family anymore. It's time for the whole village to help. The fact that neighbors in the city do not interact with each other at all is getting worse and worse.
After greeting the villagers, Li Anran, who didn't care about these people's opinions. Seeing that things are going well. Naturally, I am also happy to be a favor. Thereupon. A large amount of money was scattered, and the whole village began to get busy.
The flowing water banquet is a special way to entertain guests in the countryside. In this way, it means welcoming visitors. At the same time, to some extent, it is also an act of showing off wealth.
It is said that it was originally named after the wooden plates that floated on the canal to make it easier for pilgrims to eat.
Later, it evolved into a time when the countryside wanted to have a happy event, set up a shed in their own yard, build a stove, invite two village cooks, and cook their own banquet to entertain all their relatives and friends. Instead of going to a restaurant to book a few tables of banquets like people in the city.
This custom is practiced all over the country and continues from ancient times to the present day. Of course, it's hard to see that in the city anymore. In the countryside, no matter whether it is poor or rich, but anyone who has some family background or pays attention to face, basically every family is like this.
Some people also say that this kind of mat is a dish after eating, such as flowing clouds and flowing water, so it is vividly called "flowing water mat". In some areas, there is also a kind of chicken, duck and fish meat together, waiting for a group of guests to wipe their mouths and leave, and then another group of people to continue to eat "flowing water seat".
Although it was only for most of the day, and it affected the normal lunch, no one in the village complained.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the work of the flowing water mat in the evening went quite smoothly.
The traditional flowing water table does not pay attention to the pattern of the dish, and is mainly based on big fish and meat, which means to eat well and eat well. Not only are there very few delicate dishes, but even the drinks are made by themselves in small workshops in Shili Eight Towns.
After all, in those days, it was already a blessing to be able to eat. Being able to chew meat a few times a year means that the family's standard of living is not bad.
Of course, the living conditions of today are not comparable to those of that time. Not to mention that the money Li Anran took out, even if it was thrown into the star-rated hotels in the city, it could already be placed on dozens of high-grade tables.
Waiting for the son of the village chief's family to drive a car to the county to search for a unified search, not to mention flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, these things are not rare now, and even the seafood that is not produced in Jinling has been bought a lot.
As for alcohol, I didn't buy it at all, but I got a lot of various drinks from the wholesale market.
If you don't buy alcohol, it's not that no one drinks it, on the contrary, the amount of alcohol that these people in the village drink is not small. The reason why I don't buy it is because I don't want to go far.
With Li Guizhen's fame in ten miles and eight towns, in addition to the medical skills that are so good that many orthodox doctors are speechless, it is the most famous wine-making technique. In contrast, there is no comparison to even doing things for people.
Although Li Anran also packed some valuable wine from the wine cellar at home when he immigrated. However, there are still a lot of ordinary shochu and self-made wines, and some of them are still good things that have been cellared for some years.
In this case, who is stupid to think about drinking those outside, God knows if it is a terrible thing blended with industrial alcohol. As for the wine in other workshops in Shili Baxiang, it is naturally not enough in comparison.
What's more, even if you don't buy alcohol, just purchasing those ingredients, melons and fruits, snacks, snacks, drinks, etc., already contains a lot of oil and water. Coupled with the village chief's private warning, as well as the common interests of the village, the village chief's son naturally did not dare to go too far.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase ingredients, not only the various preparations for the flowing water mat were properly made with the concerted efforts of the villagers, but at the same time. The news about the Li family's boy coming back from abroad to visit relatives and setting up a flowing water banquet at night has also spread.
Although not everyone can be cheeky enough to eat, by the afternoon, there were already many people from outside the village.
Fortunately, these people have some relationship with which family in the village, and they are not in vain, not only do they give some courtesy, but also help to do things.
Even if the casual gift is really not good, it is still a heart. Naturally, there is no reason to drive people out.
For not started yet. was already an oversized flowing water seat, Li Anran was not only not annoyed, but felt that it was very good to be so lively. As a result, not only increased investment. also asked Hu Linger to call the branch in Jinling. I sent another batch of vacuum-packed food.
Originally, I learned about my big boss. actually returned to his hometown quietly, and he, the person who was the president of the branch, had no news at all, and the Mr. Lu who heard the news. Not only did he complete the work of material allocation well, but he also wanted to stay and pat himself on the back.
Just kidding, although this big boss has long faded out of the sight of everyone in the company, no one dares to despise the other party because of this. On the contrary, in several major events in the company's development process, it is even more set off this undisputed power.
It's a pity that he just wanted to get together with the villagers and feel the taste of memories smoothly, Li Anran didn't want to have a guy who helped in the way. Therefore, after the things were delivered, they sent all the people from their own company away.
As for that Mr. Lu, he was very thoughtful, no, although he was driven away, he didn't go too far. On the contrary, after seeing the scale of the flowing water banquet this time, people made some food, drinks, drinks, etc., and parked directly in the town after loading.
Not only did he approve a sum of money but also sat in the car himself, so that if there was something lacking here, there was no need to worry about making mistakes in the busy, just a phone call, and anything missing would be delivered as soon as possible.
For the intimacy of his subordinates, Li Anran, who was a little surprised, praised him twice. Although this kind of intimacy has a lot of elements of drilling camp and sycophancy, as long as it can make you happy, what's the difference.
Didn't you see those emperors or big officials, no matter how wise they are, there will always be a few people who are more or less smugglers, and the picture is just a joy.
By the time the sun went down, the open space in the entire village was basically packed with dinner tables. In the east and south corners, there are twenty large stoves, dozens of village cooks and people, busy in full swing but in an orderly manner.
Since this table had already begun to be prepared in the afternoon, and the people who helped the cook were in a sea of hands, it didn't take much time to put on the various dinner tables that were too numerous to count at a glance, and there were already large plates and bowls, and even large pots of dishes.
The style of the dining table is different because there are too many people to come, and the village alone can no longer provide it, so I borrowed a lot from the nearby village. And the use of large pots for vegetables is nothing in the countryside.
Anyway, the skills of those village chefs can't make any fine dishes, but this kind of big pot dish, although the taste is not very good, but it is not bad. Not to mention, this time all the ingredients used are good, as well as the spices secretly made by the Li family, and the taste will naturally not be bad.
After eating something casually in middle age, Li Anran found an excuse to go up the mountain to see his grandfather, and suspended in the air above the village with a magic weapon similar to an invisibility talisman, looking at the faces of the beings who were busy with the flowing water mat below, and those memories of his childhood kept coming to his mind.
In fact, Li Anran couldn't remember a lot of memories. However, after the spiritual origin has been condensed into the "Godhead" and evolved to the second stage, not to mention the increase in IQ, the memory alone has reached the point of insight into the past.
But everything he has ever encountered, even if it is just a fragment that is too small to be smaller, Li Anran can easily tune it out of his "godhead", to some extent, it is like watching a movie over and over again with a remote control.
Looking at the people and things in the village, recalling the people and things in the past, Li Anran, who was suspended in the air, unconsciously entered an indescribable special state. It was not until the village chief began to send people to the mountains to call people because he could not find anyone that he woke up from this state.
Li Anran, who ignored those shouts, stretched comfortably, and found that although he failed to make any changes in his body this time, his spiritual level seemed to have received a soul baptism, and the whole person became very comfortable.
Considering your own disappearance, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. After examining his own changes a little, Li Anran came to a certain place in the river in the village with a spiritual transmission, and by the way, he also used his super spiritual perception to directly catch a few fish from the river that were not small.
After Li Anran appeared with the fish, the villagers who first went up the mountain to find people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then after the news was transmitted back to the village, everyone finally settled down.
There's no way, if something happens to Li Anran in the village, it will be a big trouble!
So, after Li Anran came back, the village chief's son became a "bodyguard", and he followed him wherever he went, for fear of losing people again. As for why he will run away without a shadow, he only reminded him a little and didn't dare to say it again.
For such an arrangement, Li Anran just smiled and accepted it.
When the village chief asked him to say a few words first, looking at the people present who knew and didn't know, Li Anran just said a few words, and then with the sentence "Everyone eats and drinks well", he set off a high dynasty with flowing water.
As soon as the table opened, the whole village was soon filled with the sound of chewing and drinking.
This lively scene lasted until midnight, and finally ended.
At noon the next day, with the help of the villagers, Li Anran picked up his grandfather's ashes, and then left in a hurry.
In the next few days, Li Anran visited his primary school, middle school, high school, university, and even the unit where he had worked, and at the same time donated money in the name of the company, and at the same time had a few meals with several people who had a good relationship with him before and later kept in touch, and by the way, he also helped solve several problems, such as employment, investment and borrowing.
After Li Anran turned around and saw all the places he was familiar with and the people worth seeing on the main time and space, he returned to Datang time and space with a relaxed body and his grandfather's ashes.
Because before returning to the main plane, he had already explained all the relevant things. Therefore, after putting his grandfather's ashes into the temple of the Divine Island, Li Anran took a shuttle to the outer orbit of the sun and began his retreat.
What Li Anran never thought of again was that this retreat would be closed for ten years...... (To be continued......)
